ANSWERS

The 3 original games were designed in such a way that you had to trade in order to get all of the Pokemon. So trading is the way.

Actually, I think that Pokemon Yellow has all the Pokemon on it Kenny. Blue has 75 Pokemon, Pokemon red has 75 pokemon. Pokemon Yellow has all 150 Pokemon I think.

But yes, in order to get a Pikachu on Pokemon Red, you will have to catch one on Pokemon Blue, and trade it to Pokemon Red. You can find a Pikachu in the Viridian Forst grass areas. Just look around. Thats in Pokemon Blue by the way.

Hope this helps.

Try the power plant or viridian forest and you should find it eventually, assuming the game isn't broken. Pikachu is definately in every version, I have all three and I have found it in all of them (ok in yellow you do start off with it). There is about 130 in each game you can get in the game without trading

You can find Pikachu in all games, he is more commonly found in viridian forest, just go north from the entrance!

Happy gaming,

Funny thing is, I was just playing red whilst reading here how to get pikachu at start... Then I just caught one in viridian forest, so yes, it is possible to get it in red without trading. Just takes a lil while.

You can either spend time in viridian forest to get pikachu in red and blue, although there is only like 5% chance of encountering one. You can also find it in the power plant, a place that can only be accessed once you get the surf HM, very very VERY much later in the game. It's probably a better choice to get a rare Pikachu in Viridian Forest because it will be useful in cerulean city. But you can choose any way.

Go to the power plant. You will find pikachu there

From what I've seen a lot of people think you can only get it in blue, but that isn't true, I am playing red at the same time as I'm typing this on a game boy and I just found two pikachus in a row in viridian forest

I found a few in the forest up at left side. Once you enter the forest go north then all the way west to the two tree stumps at the end. Go back and forth along those till you find one.
